Answer:

<h2>6√2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔEBD and ΔEDC are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{DE}{EB}=\dfrac{EC}{DE}

We have:

DE = a

EB = 18

EC = 4

Substitute:

\dfrac{a}{18}=\dfrac{4}{a}            <em>cross multiply</em>

(a)(a)=(18)(4)\\\\a^2=72\to a=\sqrt{72}\\\\a=\sqrt{36\cdot2}\\\\a=\sqrt{36}\cdot\sqrt2\\\\a=6\sqrt2

What is the true solution to the equation below?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

some rules of logarithmic function

ln(a) - ln(b)=ln(\frac{a}{b})

e^{ln(a)}=a

ln(a)^{n}=nln(a) vice-versa nln(a)=ln(a)^{n}

If ㏑(a) = ㏑(b), then a = b

∴ 2ln(e^{ln(2x)})-ln(e^{ln(10x)})=ln(30)

Use the 2nd rule to simplify it

e^{ln(2x)}=2x\\e^{ln(10x)}=10x\\

2㏑(2x) - ㏑(10x) = ㏑(30)

Use the 3rd rule in the 1st term

∵ 2㏑(2x) = ㏑(2x)² = ㏑(4x²)

∴ ㏑(4x²) - ㏑(10x) = ㏑(30)

- Use the 1st rule with the left hand side

ln(4x^{2})-ln(10x)=ln(\frac{4x^{2}}{10x})\\\\ln(\frac{4x^{2}}{10x})=ln(30)\\\\ \frac{4x^{2}}{10x}=\frac{2x}{5}=\frac{2}{5}x\\\\ ln(\frac{2}{5}x)=ln(30)

Use the 4th rule

\frac{2}{5} x = 30

Multiply both sides by 5

∴ 2 x = 150

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 75

The value of x = 75

Do anyone know the answer to this problem?
dimaraw [331]

Answer: An = 36 + 2(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the height of the tree grows by 2 inches every year, then the height of the tree is increasing in arithmetic progression. The The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

An = a + d(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 36 inches

d = 2 inches

Therefore, the explicit rule representing this situation is

An = 36 + 2(n - 1)
